Divorce (family) Mediation

Our justice system is an adversarial system. It often fosters conflict and enmity. When a couple has children, the
partners are not the only people affected by the divorce. Fall out from the divorce, directly and negatively affects
their children, no matter how old they might be. It is with the hope of preventing divorce from becoming
confrontational and "ugly" that divorce mediation was created. Way before the lawyers commandeered the
process of divorce mediation, social workers and family therapists were the mediators because they were the ones
best trained to take into account the emotional wounds inflicted by this traumatic and life altering event.

They knew that, no matter how well children seemed to be handling the divorce, the scars they will be carrying
with them, as a result of seeing, hearing and experiencing their parents tearing each other apart (as the system
demanded), would last a life time.

In Divorce Mediation you and your spouse will be able to:

1. Write out your own divorce agreement because you know your family best.
2. Set a tone of cooperation and collaboration from the very start
3. Decide, together, on what's best for your children, in terms of custody
and visitation
4. Increase the odds of compliance because it will be you who decides, not a judge
5. Save money, lots of money, that can better be used for your children's and
your needs.
